Report reveals 20 most corrupt countries in Africa

Transparency International recently released its latest annual Corruption Perception Index report. A copy of the report, which was seen by Business Insider Africa, showed that 90% of the 180 countries surveyed scored below 50.

Interestingly, 44 of these countries with very low corruption index scores are in Africa. We shall be focusing on them shortly.

What is corruption?

Transparency International, which combats global corruption through concerted anti-corruption measures, defines the social vice as “the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. Corruption erodes trust, weakens democracy, hampers economic development and further exacerbates inequality, poverty, social division and the environmental crisis.”

Across the African continent, corruption is being fueled by a number of factors such as authoritarianism, political/institutional instability and various forms of security challenges caused by violent conflicts and terrorism.
